That's a Foot Wedge!
About this episode
Prim explores the implications of rules and penalties in mahjong, drawing parallels to golf etiquette.
Prim's grandfather played golf professionally, so he knew every clause of the rulebook and exactly what each penalty cost. Which is what made him the right person to look at a ball stuck behind a tree, tell a grandchild "you are not a pro, and this is not a tournament," and move it. This week Prim asks what that means at a mahjong table. Crak the Card covers the ways a hand dies and the strange fact that you are not allowed to call your own. The Table Is Asking handles the woman who exposed ahand she was not entitled to. Who's Talking thanks the two desks quietly writing downthe penalties, and Tile Envy goes looking for the neighborhood shops betting on this game. Everyone deserves a seat at this table. https://www.orderofthetile.com #AmericanMahjong #NMJL #Prim #OrderOfTheTile #DeadHand #MahjongRules #TournamentRules #MahjongEtiquette #MahjMind #MahjPalazzo #MahjongHistory #ShopLocal #FootWedge #Mahjong #MahJongg
